Pros

Advancement potential, interesting work, good pay, growing company, solid track record through many economic conditions.

Cons

very little work life balance. one of the few remaining "good old boys" divisions out there. Not uncommon to have all male meetings where senior managers use frequent poor language and discuss important business decisions as though they were still adolescents. Big con- if you want to advance all roads lead to Syracuse NY, not a great place to live.

Transparent communication from top management Values based culture Strong emphasis on employee development and career growth

Cons

Too much politics and meetings Style of communication dominates (and guides the decision making) the substance; tending to stylise/glamorise everything rather than look at crux Work content extremely shallow Too many initiatives - spreading oneself too thin.
